You know it's getting close to Opening Day when spring training games move to "real MLB stadia," as SoSG Sax would say. And you know another SoSG meme has died on the vine when the Dodgers get thumped by Cleveland 6-1 in their 2011 Camelback swan song. Sorry, Scary Spice!

Dodger Stadium opens its gates tonight as it hosts two of the Dodgers' final three spring training games: tonight versus the Angels and Wednesday versus the Mariners. The Angels seem to be facing as many on-field issues as the Dodgers, so tonight's game will clarify exactly nothing. Play meaningless ball!

And from the "Soon to Sign with Tampa" Department, Ronnie Belliard was released by the Yankees today. No word on whether Manny demanded an immediate signing or if Belliard was allowed to stop off for a double cheeseburger first.

In a way I don't blame Brox,but on the other hand he just absilutely doesn't dominate, and hitters are getting good contact. He should be blowing these guys and not having to rely on his infielders to bail him out.

Brox seriously just has no idea how to get someone out, nor does he have the confidence. All caveats aside re: pre-season, I am truly worried about him. I have nothing but hope for him to shake through this, not hatin', but...shit. He looks lost out there.

Horrible situation in Montebello...woman's young daughter abducted by drunk (father? boyfriend?)...surrounded by cops...woman escapes with girl...guy kills himself. Barely a second after the news story wraps up, segue right to the plastic hussy at the news desk who is smiling ear to ear and talking about how GREAT *chirps* the weather is going to be this week.

I like Block's tweeting a lot more than Levine's already. At least Block is using it to communicate with fans, as opposed to Levine, who used it to make terrible jokes (I'm looking at you, "unfriending Manny" barb).
